@hildegard8: "May 6th - St. Evodius of Antioch
The first Bishop of Antioch after St. Peter. Eusebius mentions him thus in
his "History": "And Evodius having been established the first [bishop] of
the Antiochians, Ignatius flourished at this time" (III, 22). The time
referred to is that of Clement of Rome and Trajan, of whom Eusebius has just
spoken. Harnack has shown (after discarding an earlier theory of his own)
Eusebius possessed a list of the bishops of Antioch which did not give their
dates, and that he was obliged to synchronize them roughly with the popes.
It seems certain that he took the three episcopal lists of Rome, Alexandria,
and Antioch from the "Chronography" which Julius Africanus published in 221.
The "Chronicle of Eusebius" is lost; but in Jerome's translation of it we
find in three successive years the three entries
     that Peter, having founded the Church of Antioch, is sent to Rome,
where he perseveres as bishop for  25 years;
     that Mark, the interpreter of Peter, preaches Christ in Egypt and
Alexandria; and
     that Evodius is ordained first Bishop of Antioch.
This last year is given as Claudius III by the Codex Freherianus, but by the
fifth-century Bodleian Codex (not used in Schoene's edition) and the rest as
Claudius IV (A.D. 44). The Armenian translation has Claudius II. We have no
mention of Evodius earlier than that by Africanus; but the latter is
confirmed by his contemporary, Origen, who calls Ignatius the second bishop
after Peter (Hom. IV, in Luc., III, 938A). It is curious that the ordination
of Evodius should not have been given in the "Chronography" in the same year
as the founding of the Antiochian Church by Peter, and Hort supposed that
the three entries must have belonged to a single year in Eusebius. But the
evidence is not in favour of this simplification. The year of the accession
of Ignatius, that is of the death of Evodius, was unknown to Eusebius, for
he merely places it in the "Chronicle" together with the death of Peter and
the accession of Linus at Rome (Nero 14-68), while in the "History" he
mentions it at the beginning of Trajan's reign.
The fame of Ignatius has caused later writers, such as Athanasius and
Chrysostom, to speak of him as though he were the immediate successor of the
Apostles. Jerome (De viris ill., 16) and Socrates (H.E. VI, 8) call him the
"third" bishop after St. Peter, but this is only because they illogically
include Peter among his own successors. Theodoret and Pseudo-Ignatius
represent Ignatius as consecrated by Peter. The difficulty which thus arose
about Evodius was solved in the Apostolic Constitutions by stating that
Evodius was ordained by Peter and Ignatius by Paul. The Byzantine
chronographer, John Malalas (X, 252), relates that as Peter went to Rome,
and passed through the great city of Antioch, it happened that Evodus (sic),
the bishop and patriarch, died, and Ignatius succeeded him, he attributes to
Evodius the invention of the name Christian. Salmon does not seem to be
justified in supposing that Malalas ascribes any of this information to
Theophilus, the second century Bishop of Antioch. We may be sure that
Evodius is an historical personage, and really the predecessor of St.
Ignatius. But the dates of his ordination and death are quite uncertain. No
early witness makes him a martyr.
The Greeks commemorate together "Evodus" and Onesiphorus (II Tim., i, 16) as
of the seventy disciples and as martyrs on 29 April, and also on 7
September. Evodius was unknown to the earlier Western martyrologies the
Hieronymian, and those of Bede and Florus; but Ado introduced him into the
so-called "Martyrologium Romanum parvum" (which he forged not long before
860) and into his own work, on 6 May. His source was Pseudo-Ignatius, whom
he quotes in the "Libellus de fest. Apost.", prefixed to the martyrology
proper. From him the notice came to Usuard and the rest, and to the present
Roman Martyrology.

Very Bread, good Shepherd, tend us,

Saint Quote:
Make a little cell in your heart for Jesus of the Agony; take refuge there, when
you hear Him outraged by men, try to make reparation; you, at least, love Him
and keep your heart quite pure for Him. Oh! If you only knew how the good God
loves pure hearts! It is there that He loves to reign.
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity
Bible Quote:
The just shall stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted
them, and taken away their labors. These seeing it, shall be troubled with
terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the suddenness of their unexpected
salvation, saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of
spirit. These are they whom we had some time in derision, and for a parable of
reproach. We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honor.
Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among
the saints   (Wisdom 5:1-5)

Imitate Christ
 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live
a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,
or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, becasue these are improper for
God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse
joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you
can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a man is an
idolater - has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no
one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath
comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with
them.
 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all
goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.
Have nothing to do with fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose
them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in
secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is
 "Wake up, O sleeper,
 rise from the dead,
 and Christ will shine on you.'
 Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise,
making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do
not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with
the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God
the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:1-21"
